chapter 48 vidlec part 3 Flashcards
describes kidney damage or a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for 3 or more months CKD
chronic kidney disease
A test that checks how well your kidneys are working
GFR / glomerular filtration rate
a test that indicates
how much blood your kidneys filter each minute
glomerular filter rate
mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to renal tubules
filtration
what are the phases in CKD
filtration
reabsorption
secretion
excretion
movement of water and solutes from the tubules back into the plasma
reabsorption
even after filtration has occurred, the tubules continue to excrete additional substances into the tubular fluid
secretion
End stage of CKD, last product would be urine
excretion
what the two waste products in kidney
creatinine
urea
waste product from protein breakdown
urea
waste product from muscle breakdown
creatinine
what is the normal value of GFR
125 mL/min/1.73 m2
regulates oncotic pressure
albumin
role for increasing BP
renin
also referred to as an “artificial kidney
hemodialysis
in ecg, it indicates hyperkalemia
tall tinted t wave
usually done three times per week, for about 3-4 hours for each treatment
conventional dialysis
is typically used by those patients who do their own dialysis at home
daily hemodialysis
It is less stressful (more gentle) but does require more frequent access
daily hemodialysis
it is performed three to six nights a week and between six and ten hours per session while the patient sleeps
nocturnal hemodialysis
how many liters of fluids are being filtered by the kidneys every day
180 liters
acts as filter of fluids and ions
glomerulus
